I tried that pages months ago. They really didn't have any timeline for potomac. Not sure if they do now. But understand that approval may take approximately 150 days from noa1. You guys are almost there. Hang in there. Don't think too much. It took me exactly 5 months from nebraska to potomac and then local office. But approval will be from potomac. I hope it helps. Be strong.

Texas is processing after my noa1 date so if I had stayed in Texas I would've had more luck. 6 months into Potomac and I'm still here

My best advice is to forget expectations and just take it as it comes. If you expect news at 4 months you will be terribly disappointed. At 5 months you'll be angry. And at 6 months you just won't care anymore hahahaha

NOA1- August 7th 2015 ^_^

TSC to PSC- November 10th 2015 :huh:

LOCAL OFFICE- December 2nd 2015 :o

NOA2- February 25th 2016 :D

NVC Stage:

Physical letter received at home address March 17th 2016 (away on business trip)

DS-261 Completed- March 18th 2016

AOS Fee Paid- March 18th 2016

IV Fee Paid- March 26th 2016

IV Application Completed- March 30th 2016

IV and AOS packages sent- May 19th

Interview appointment date received via e-mail- June 2nd (10 business days? how is that even possible?!)

Interview set for June 20th (super short notice!)

VISA DENIED at interview but followed up over email :cry:

VISA ARRIVED 6/30/2016 with no notice of approval over email :pop:

POE Fort Lauderdale 8/15/16 Went smoothly and she's home! :dance:

yeah I agree sometimes even if we are patient ... we get frustrated and depressed with this whole process as we are not able to be with our loved ones ... All you can do is chat or speak to them via phone

you mean your friend with September 28 as PD is approved?? I'm September 25 PD.. when was she approved and is it from Potomac?

Looks like the approvals are all over the place. For all we know, they could be doing by country type or random applications like in a lottery. Who knows!
